A “Faithful Fan” sent us a recipe request; we've done our best to find it, but we've come up empty handed. We're hoping readers can help.

Our fan wrote: “Some years ago in the S.A. paper was a recipe for raw broccoli, carrots and cauliflower in bite-size pieces with a marinade or salad dressing. This was kept in a glass container about 8 inches high with a flat bottom and two flat sides and two round sides with the container rotated at times.

“(I) have lost the recipe for the marinade/dressing, which was rather essential, and hope you can print it.

“This was a delightful and healthy cold salad for summer days.

“Thank you so much.”

We searched numerous ways trying to locate this recipe; any we found that we had run for the past 20 years that included those ingredients didn't call for the marinating method that our reader mentioned or cooked the vegetables before marinating them. None called for marinating in the specific container mentioned.

Can you help?

And, while we're requesting help, we have a second one we need assistance with.

Amanda Trussell of New Braunfels writes, “I am looking for a recipe that my ‘grandmother of the heart' used to make. No one can find the recipe, but one of her daughter's remembered she said she got it off the back of a Bisquick box.

“Her memory eroded long ago and she couldn't tell us how she made it before she died. The recipe is a cookie/cracker. It is cheese flavored and very thin. It was also very crisp and an orangey/yellow color. On top she placed a pecan half.

“She was making it in the late '80s and early '90s, but we don't know when she found the recipe.

“I have contacted General Mills and they sent me a few recipes, but they don't seem to be the ones. Would be completely thrilled if you could find the recipe!”

It sounds like Trussell is looking for a recipe for cheese crackers (also known as cheese wafers, cheese crisps, cheese straws and more) made with Bisquick rather than the normal flour, cheese, butter, etc.
